HISTORY will come alive at an event in Lichfield next month.

Lesley Smith will appear as Mary Queen of Scots at The Old Stables on 12th May.

A spokesperson said:

> “Mary Queen of Scots is one of history’s polarising characters.  
>  
> “For some, she was a victim and a Catholic martyr, for others a manipulative schemer and the author of her own misfortune.  
>  
> “Queen of Scotland by birth and of France by marriage, she was deposed and imprisoned in Scotland after she was implicated in the murder of her second husband.  
>  
> “Here is a chance to meet Mary Queen of Scots in full authentic costume during her time behind bars at Tutbury, where she spent a lot of time reading, writing letters and doing embroidery.  
>  
> “Learn about Mary’s three marriages and about life in general in Tudor times.”

Tickets are £14 and can be booked [online](https://lesleysmithhistorians.co.uk/liveevent/mary-queen-of-scots-at-the-old-stables-lichfield/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
